GSH2 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_006G094600, symbol GSH2 (PvGSH2), encodes a glutathione synthase on chromosome 6 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The product possesses glutathione synthase activity, glutathione binding, ATP binding, magnesium binding, and protein homodimerization activity. It is associated with glutathione anabolism, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, response to stress, and response to jasmonic acid, and localizes to the plastid and cytosol. The gene is linked to cadmium tolerance, ozone tolerance, jasmonate hypersensitivity, endoplasmic reticulum stress response and morphology, seedling and plant development, root growth, and 2,4-dinitrotoluene response. Related genes in other species are linked to glutathione biosynthesis, cadmium resistance, stress tolerance, phytochelatin synthesis, and seedling development, as well as to traits such as chlorophyll and glucose content, calcium concentration, and root thickness.
